The number -7.00001 in scientific notation is written as -700000000000 in decimal notation.
1Step 1: Analyze the scientific notation
Here we have the number -7.00001 multiplied by \(10^{10}\). This means we will move the decimal point in -7.00001 ten places to the right.
2Step 2: Perform the conversion
To convert -7.00001 from scientific to decimal notation, it's needed to move the decimal 10 places to the right. The given number has five digits after the decimal. After moving these five digits, we still need to move the decimal 5 more places, which will be filled with 0s. Hence, we obtain the number -700000000000.
